Today marks a Lunar New Year, ushering in the Year of the Rat.

The Chinese Zodiac: The Rat is a creative problem solver; imaginative; a hyperactive worker respected for its resourcefulness; intuitive, with an ability to acquire and hold on to things it values.

Banksy: They exist without permission. They are hated, hunted and persecuted. They live in quiet desperation and amongst the filth. And yet they are capable of bringing entire civilizations to their knees.

If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
